Cooler?

[kendawg73]

Plan to get my motor back in next month, along with all the stuff in the front end (rack, a-arms, struts, ect)

I stripped everything out of the front about 3 years ago since I had to repair my strut/tower framerail areas... and then blasted/panted the engine bay... putting all new suspension parts in, any way... I noticed the power steering cooler, well it's just a tube... lol... I was thinking of putting a B&M trans cooler I have had for years and never used in it's place... Any issue in doing this? I wouldn't think improved cooling would be a bad thing for the Power Steering pump right?

My only concern would be air getting trapped in the cooler. But I know it's kind of a common upgrade. I think k @Mustang5L5 used a SN cars powersterring cooler on his fox (I may be wrong lol.)

The fluid is thick enough to push most air out of the system. Tilting the cooler slightly could help make the process a bit easier. Either way, not much of a concern

I was about to put an SN95 cooler on my fox, but there are some clearance issues to work through. Easier to do with bumper off, but I'd recommend just going with a small aftermarket cooler instead.

Just hook it up, and bleed the system with wheels off the ground and should be good to go.

If you are just street driving though, the stock tube is really fine.
